Jane, and Barney - though never explicitly Simon -
Yeah, that, and why is that? Barney, the youngest, the artist, seer.
Jane, the -- uh. The girl. I'm being glib, her access to power is not
really through her gender, except how it sort of is. Then Simon. The
practical one. The one most outside what happens to them. And the
oldest, most likely to be playing stupid dick-measuring games with
Bran and/or Will while everyone else is all, "....What are you doing,
weirdo?" Is he most outside because he's oldest? I wouldn't have
thought so -- this series is not interested in any of the usual myths
of youth. It's not Narnia, for crissake. And yet. Simon. What's he
for?
